COLLEGE ADJUSTMENT

1. Academic Ajustment

This adjustment refers to how students and learners will participate in school
and how they will face the new environment where they will grow as students.

Here are some real-world examples of academic adjustments:

• I experienced some troubles in other subject these days. Amidst this

pandemic, it's so challenging to me as a student to understand the lessons in
different subjects. We're all trying to remember those lessons, and it's not as easy
as I thought.I always push myself to be productive, but I always end up doing
nothing. It is part of our life, to fall, and to fall again.

• Back then, we had so-called "advisers" and we had classrooms. However,

when the pandemic came, all teachers' and students' needs to adjust to the new
set-up of learning. This set-up of learning is not successful at all, it is draining and
tiring. Today, we only have our homes/rooms to lean on. We can't see each other
and we are all hiding behind the screens.

• As I remember, when I was in elementary, most of my subjects were chicken.

And then, when I entered in high school, it changed---some of our subjects are
not so-difficult and most of them will give you a passing grade. And today, it has
changed. I am adjusting to blended learning and I need to pick myself together in
order to pass to those subjects in which I am enrolled.

2. Social Adjustments
Social adjustment is an individual's attempt to conform to the standards, values,
and needs of a society in order to be accepted. It is a psychological process that
can be defined. It entails adjusting to new standards and values. Adjustment is the
technical term for "getting along with the members of society as best one can" in
psychology.

Here are some real-world examples of social adjustments:

• Years ago, a lot of students were good in terms of socialization and

communication. And when the pandemic came, their socialization skills had gone;
some of them were hiding behind their walls and just enjoying the solitude. There
are a lot of limitations today, so, in order to cope, you should be connected to
your loved ones and friends. Try to talk to them and they will lend their ears for
you.

• Back then, I saw a lot of faces every single day. Their laugh freeze in their
rooms and on the streets. This academic year, you will meet new people. You
need to act like it's okay to surround yourself with strangers that you've met
through online meetings. I'm perfectly fine humming in my own beehives and
sipping a cup of honey. It's hard to be connected with a lot of people, especially if
you're uncomfortable being surrounded by strangers.

• Back then, students had their own outdoor activities, and it helped them to
boost their confidence and explore themselves when they were with others. This
pandemic changed our lives and pushed us into the labyrinth of darkness and
unknown feelings.

3. Personal/Emotional Adjustment
 The term "personal/emotional adjustment" covers the positive or negative
interactions between social and individual characteristics during an individual's
interaction with the environment.

Here are some real-world examples of personal/emotional adjustments:

• Years ago, students were already awake before 7:00 AM, preparing
themselves to go to school. And today, most of the learners are waking up late in
the morning. Their sleeping routine is ruined by those monsters and storms. They
are sleeping late because they have been carrying those loads of schoolwork.

• Back then, we painted our days with yellow. We were all connected to each
other. These days, in the midst of a pandemic, we are all isolated and we
overthink a lot of things. We are stuck in a bottle of nausea, and these days, our
life is blue.

• When this world was in-normal, we went to school to learn and to have some
fun. However, in this set-up of learning, students are doing their activities,
performances, and outputs just to pass and to comply. Teachers' and students'
are drained to shape theirselves amidst this pandemic. Despite this, they are all
trying to do their best.
